Vague Ideas of Newspaper Work.

1t is amusing to see the vague ideas OF
newspaper work held by people outside of the
profession l suppose that there are few
newspaper men who have not been accosted
in the course of quiet stroll by some friend
who wears knowing grin and exclaims:
"Ahi hunting for news" And when told
that man rarely goes for news unless he is
sent by the city editor, regard you with a
smile of incredulity. The general public
seems to have an idea that a newspaper man
chases around after items like an entomolo-
gist after butterflies. OF the machine like
system Of great newspaper office they have
no con option.
Not the least amusing phase Of this ignor
ance is displayed by people who have never
attempted brain work. IT saw piece you
wrote in our paper" said an old farmer to
me the other day. How much do you get
for such a piecea" "About $15,' replied
"How long does it take you to write such q
pieces" he queried presently. about two
hours" | answered. Then could plainly see
that the old man was making a mental cal
culation something like this: Fifteen dollars
in two hours would be 81. 80 an hour, work
ing ten hours day-and unless a man works
ten hours day he would be hopelessly lazy
in the opinion Of the old farmer-would be
S75 day; six days in the week would run
up to $3.50 a week. He did not like to think
me liar, so he simply smiled and murmured !:
81 reckon you don't work very hard THE

AN OMNIBUS INCIDENT.
Story Concerning Abraham Lincoin's
Second Nomination-A Vision.

On the day of Mr.. Lincolns denomination
at Baltimore lie was engaged at the war de.
partment in constant telegraphic communi-
cation with Gen. Grant, then in front of
Richmond Throughout the day he ,ssemed
wholly unconscious that anything was going
on at Baltimore in which his interests were
In any way concerned. At luncheon time he
went to the White House. swallowed a hasty
lunch, and without entering his private office
hurried back to the war Office On arriving
at the war department the first dispatch that
was shown him announced the nomination of
Andrew johnson for vice president. ''This is
strange" said he, refectively; II thought it
was usual to nominate the candidate for
president first" His informant was aston
ished. mr.. President" said he. ''have you
not heard of your own renominationa 1t
was teegraphed to you ut the White House
two hours ago" Mr.. Lincoln had not seen
the dispatch-had made no inquiry about it
had not SO much as thought about it.
On reflection Mr.. Lincoln attached great
Importance to this singular occurrence. 1t
reminded him, he said, of an ominous incl
dent of mysterious character which occurred
just after his election in 1860 1t was the
double image of himself in looking glass,
which he saw while lying OH n lounge in his
own chamber at Springfield. There was
Abraham Lincoln's face rejecting the full
glow of health, and hopef0 life, and in the
same mirror at the same moment of time,
was the face of Abraham Lincoln showing a
ghostly paleness On trying the experiment
at other times. as confirmatory tests, the il
fusion reappeared and then vanished as be-
fore.
Mr.. Lincoln more than once told me that
:. 4
he had tried to reproduce the double ref1ec-
ton at the executive mansion, but without
success; that it had worried HIM not a little,
and that the mystery had its meaning, which
was clear enough to him. To his mind the il
fusion was a sign-the life like image betoken-
ing safe passage through his first term as
president; the ghostly one that death would
overtake him before the close OF the second

Humorous Descriptions of the Jubilee

l hear that some of tn, American CORE
spondents who sent original and humorous
descriptions of the jubilee ceremony to their
respective papers, written in the graphic and
fowery language that obtains in the far west,
are rather abashed at finding collection of
all the accounts written by journalists to
whom tickets for the abbey were issued, is
bel & made at the lord chamberlains office,
and that these extracts are to be bound up
in two volumes, one to be presented to her
majesty, and one to be retained by the lord
chamberlain.
A correspondent has amused himself in the
meantime by collecting a few specimens of
choice newspaper English from some gushing
native reports e. g.: "The luscious edbles
were dispensed" "Partook of the transtory
joys of Slide" unique event of the day.
General director, prime mover and animated
soul of the movement "The scene was one
of great magnificence Human ingenuity
had been exhausted in contributing to its
splendor, and the result was spectacle which
called for the genius of Turner to perpet-
uate it" Fancy Turner painting a public
function in an upholstered Westminster

All Had Heart Disease.

Professor Blank, of E., devoted whole
week of the session to lecturing to his stu
dents on the subject of heart diseases He
had private apartment opening off the class
room, to which he was wont to retire after
he had finished his discourse in order to take
OFF his gown and enjoy little meditation by
the fire. On the afternoon of the second dav
modest knock came to the door. ENTER"
said Professor Blank And, hat in hand, ap-
peared one of his students, looking somew hat
worried and pale "What can do for Won.
Mr.. M. I" Nothing, l fear" was the reply.
Nothing on earth can aid me. l have the
very symptoms that you were today describ-
ing Sound me and see, sir" The sounding
was soon performed. you're in perfect
health as regards your heart" That was the
verdict. And Mr.. NJ. went away happy
But hardly had the kindly old professor re-
sumed his seat before another knock re-
sounded on the door "Come in. Well, what's
the matter with you, Mr.. c." "I'm a dead
man." gasped Mr.. c., looking wildly round
as if he wanted to clutch something 'Ive
got heart disease as sure as gun" "Not
quite as bad as that, l trust. Take off your
coat" Association and percussion were
speedily performed; then the professor
laughed in C.'s face. "Sound as a bell man."
ne SAID. TO nome to your dinner, and don't
be fool" The doctor did not sit down again,
however. No; he was afraid there would be
more of them, SO he hurried along through
the squad and got into his carriage But he
had two more visits at his residence on the
same night from frightened students, and
every day during the remainder of that week
he had visit or two of the same kind On
the following Monday he got on to fevers
and the students completely recovered from
their cardiac complaints. Magazine

it, Another case is that of Mr.. r. B. KYLE.
Tower Hill, Appomattox county, Va, who
writes, November, 1886: 'Was afflicted for
several years with rheumatism and grew
worse all the time. Eminent physicians
gave no relief; had spasms, and was not ex-
Pected to live; was rubbed all over with st.
Jacobs Oil. The first application relieved.
the second removed the pain, continued use

much work as ever" These are proofs of the
perfection of the remedy, and, taken in CON
nection with the miracles performed in other
cases, 1t has no equal.
